Composer/Songwriter/Producer Paul Brill has received three Emmy Award nominations for his film scores and recently won the first-ever Best Music Award from the International Documentary Association. He collaborated with Rock legends U2 on the HBO film, Burma Soldier, composing a new string arrangement for an acoustic version of their classic song, “Walk On.” His recent work includes the hit documentaries, Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work (IFC), the Emmy Award-winning Page One: Inside the NY Times (Magnolia), the Sundance Festival winning films, Gideon’s Army, Trapped, and Love Free or Die, and the Emmy, DuPont and Peabody Award-winning, 6-hour PBS documentary, The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross, with noted historian Henry Louis Gates and additional musical contributions from Wynton Marsalis. He recently made his Off-Broadway debut, composing the score for Gabriel Jason Dean’s Terminus, which featured stage legend/2022 Best Actress Tony Winner Deirdre O’Connell and premiered to great acclaim at The New York Theatre Workshop.

Brill now returns to his songwriting roots to present his ambitious new record, The Cost of Believing, in its entirety. Written and recorded in a fevered flash during the past several months, the record features a stellar cast of musicians from around the country. Brill will be joined by a chamber ensemble and a great number of special appearances by friends and collaborators as they celebrate the release of this new collection of songs.
